When Hermione sees her best friend dead in Hagrid's arms, how can she cope? And what feelings come out of it? Harry/Hermione, told in Hermione's perspective. Ending of Book 7 and into the future. Rated T for some language and violence.

Having given more then anyone else to overcome Voldemort, Harry found the need for time by himself to grieve. But 'leave me alone' wasn't in Hermione's vocabulary, no matter how often her best friend said it. Harry always needed her, and that won't change even after the war was over. And if Harry James Potter didn't understand that by now, he was as dumb as Ron.
